The CIHR-Institute of Population and Public Health will provide funding for applications that support research related to pathways to health equity. Health equity suggests that all people can reach their full health potential and should not be disadvantaged from attaining it because of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or any other socially determined circumstance. Research furthering the understanding of the pathways that lead to health equity focuses on understanding interactions between biological, social, cultural and environmental determinants. Research addressing these priorities involves a range of research designs and theoretical innovations informed by diverse interdisciplinary perspectives such as epidemiology, sociology, political science, and other health and social sciences.
